Bethony is brutal

John Williams

"I just got done with work, can I go to Wendy's?" I'm dying.

Robert Aitken

welcome!

Robert Aitken

haha so true

Robert Aitken

I hate that dork so much. he was bad enough when he was just writing about comics

Brandon W

Worth it for the cold open. One of the more inspired in Chapo history.

chris e

Not sure I like Matt in the studio - part of the appeal was his being the angry uncle who couldn't quite hear what was going on, and lived on the edge of apoplexy.

Carlos Morstti

But I support anything Rust Cohle

Carlos Morstti

Meh not thrilled with this episode

Angelica

Felix trying to explain how he definitely has more than three accents. 💯

J P 3

Eric Holthaus is another person to consider for a potential episode re: climate change.

jwhy23

Smoking is cool as hell and also alpha as fuck #IStandWithFelix

Simon

Benjamin Kunkel could be good shout for a climate change episode (see his piece the capitalocene in the LRB)

S.L.

Long ago, before she deactivated her twitter, Amber mentioned in passing that she was once married, though not for very long. She and the guy were both very young. She said it was a nice - maybe she said fun? - part of her life, but she has no regrets or sorrow about the relationship not lasting. Anyhoo, that's what I recall...

Ian Epps

missed the best part of the submarine story - the dude was also building a literal rocketship

CJ Canton

So glad Amber is back, no what's Virgil up to

Tristan

69th premium episode. Very nice.

Mailman Paul

Amber is the shit.

Lindsey

soooo happy amber is back 🙌

Yung Pattawan

Wait wait wait wait wait... Amber used to be married? Was that an irony? Never heard anything about that before.

jared k

It definitely has

hyder

AMBERRRRRR ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Bunker Hill

Actually, Grover is a nice 19th century name for a girl, not so much in US

Bunker Hill

I wanted to know if anyone named their daughter Polk. No they have not, but they have done much worse things - and so has their daughter.

Obie Reynolds

Hi guys! Just fyi if you want help researching a climate change episode, I have been working in the energy/infrastructure industries for 6 years and would be happy to contribute!

Bunker Hill

I hope you are proud of yourself

I googled a reference from Prudie and then this appeared an my screen:

marx_knopfler

you sound kinda like a pussy

muricanwomyn

I share a birthday with my twin and it's total bullshit.

muricanwomyn

I went through these and was gonna be concerned if no one did it

dntstnsdntsdntsdnst

sorry but cigarette smoke is nasty on every irony level. cant get around this one

Josefina Guerra

this is the steam punk funeral feliz was talking about <a href="https://streamable.com/sblfd" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://streamable.com/sblfd</a>

Felix getting cut off mid-"imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff" explanation was precious.

Alex Benningfield

I was just thinking that. I KNOW I've heard it before...

jv

no, I have heard those jokes before from them...

brandon lindquist

Hell yeah, I remember the Zybourne Clock, the Goon RPG. Felix forgot the "Time works the same way" punchline.

Jesse Solomon

POLK

andrewzetek

Hasn't the daughter-names thing been read before?

Chris Randall

Yikes, that would suck. It never bothered me until that first time going to a bar that still allowed smoking after having lived in a smoke-free place for years. How hilariously pointless were smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants in retrospect?

Tyler Kurth

Please please pleaaaase do more dear prudy

philip podolsky

For me not even the Herzl bit tops that time she tried to own Russia with Leonard Cohen's Americanness

philip podolsky

Nick's influence on Brendan's episode descriptions is Chapo canon

Thomas

Being a child in the 80's/90's who was allergic to cigarette smoke, I can confirm that it sucked going to smokers' houses or restaurants for that matter.

Chris Randall

The best part was Amber hacking up a lung right after her impassioned defense of smoking indoors

Hank Single

Look, you all are talking shit about the tech billionaires, but you aren't ready for how many murdered nosy house cleaners you can fit under the maintenance panels of the West Coast Hyperloop.

andrewzetek

TFW I listen to chapo 2 get through the day at my graphic design job

Thomas

I'm glad Matt chimed in with the smoking take.

Igor Calija

It's Muad'Dib, not Maud'Dib... though Maude'Dib would be a decent alteration, I guess.

Thomas

I think Will shared that column on Twitter sometime ago.

Ivan

hi I'm new here

Jesse C

amber's been married?

Saying Monty Python Quotes In Lieu of Conversation

I hope Nick keeps popping up in the background the way Amber does on Cum Town

ghvghvgh

Yayy amber

Textrovert Solidork

Thanks for the shoutout! The weather isn't as bad here in Louisiana as it is Texas, but yeah, we've been hit with some strong winds and minor flooding. It's just been crazy bipolar. Also, you can order Surge on Amazon but I have seen it cheaper it some stores.

Aaron Bagley

I want to apologize for graphic designers here

Cliffie Mathieson

I had that same deja-vu with the birthday Prudy question. I know I've heard that somewhere before, and I coulda sworn it was on Chapo (but I don't care enough to check)

Allyson D

this ep made me so happy

Ben Handshue

He said n a twitter feed that Amber supports misogyny.

David Pipher

AMBER ALERT

Kevin Beteta

I missed Amber :')

g

They have done Prudy in the past, but tonight the questions were new

Jonas Kyratzes

Get Leigh Phillips on the show. Austerity Ecology is the best book about the environment I've read in a long, long time.

Jondog

Yeah I swear I've heard that one before as well, maybe it was on another podcast?

g

Great episode

Adam Drent

The lesson ten-year-old Felix took from Gosford Park slew me.

Jlep

Good posting. Keep up the pace!

Big Cheesin'

I share a birthday with Shigeru Miyamoto and it's fucking awesome.

Bryan Cox

Only found Surge in small towns gas stations in Georgia and Arkansas.

Bryan Cox

What did he do now?

Andrew Donnison

Please, Derek. That game had a family.

Lucas Potter VII

ah-zih-mon-DAY-us

jv

reading series is a repeat?

Thomas

Haven't they done the husband/wife hiking story before? I swear I've heard them talk about it.

This dude got loud

Les Doodis

TFW when Felix pronounces Louise like Luis.

Jordan Cunningham

where do i get one of those tall boy surges

Eamonn Curley

The submarine story sounds like the plot of a season of The Bridge

Skyl3lazer

When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff. Time works the same way.
